How to Bypass Smoking Cessation Weight Gain

Is fear of weight gain keeping you from kicking the smoking habit? Here are some tips on what you can do to keep the pounds off.

It is a heartening to note that most smokers who give up the habit tend to have gain just five to eight pounds – a small amount compared to the great benefits of quitting. One of the best ways putting on the weight is to take up regular exercise. If you are a long time smoker, you might have trouble with highly aerobic work outs and that is okay. Just a half hour of exercise, three days a week is a great start and brisk walking counts. Because smoking cessation takes so much time and effort, it may be best to begin regular exercise program a month or two before you quit.

Quitting smoking is hard and many people worry about their weight. However, preparing for the possibility that you will gain a pound or two can help you ensure that you do not.
